+#### Project History
+
+
+This project was started by Shiro ([@shiromarieke@birdsite](https://add-link.here/)) and CryptoParty Berlin ([@cryptopartybln@birdsite](https://link-me.here/)).
+Shiro handed over support to the greater internet in summer 2016.
+
+
+It was a text list on okfn.org text pad: (https://pad.okfn.org/p/cloudflare-tor and https://pad.okfn.org/p/noncloudflare-torblocks)
+
+
+However it was pointed out that this website itself was on cloudflare, and cloudflare actively blocked Tor users to access it.
+
+
+So it was moved to systemli.org : ( https://pad.systemli.org/p/noncloudflare-torblocks )
+and an onion service ( http://j7652k4sod2azfu6.onion/p/noncloudflare-torblocks , http://j7652k4sod2azfu6.onion/p/cloudflare-tor , http://j7652k4sod2azfu6.onion/p/cloudflare-philosophy )
+
+
+These systemli pads needed to be updated once in every while (week? month?) or the whole list was scrubbed.  
+This happened a few times, and there were some attempts at vandalism up to and including june 2016
+ 
+ 
+A fork was made during a multi-day outage at http://git.vola7ileiax4ueow.onion/fuckcloudflare/cloudflare-tor/ (new, not GitHub repo)
+
+
+However vola7ileiax4ueow's git service went down, so it was moved to github
+
+
+There used to also be a list of websites that *were* on cloudflare but are no longer.
+This list has been lost ( it was on https://pad.systemli.org/p/ex-cloudflare-tor )
